Disability Is Human

Stephanie Cawthon shares about her book, Disability Is Human – The Vital Power of Accessibility in Everyday Life, on episode 561 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

We all have disability at one time or another, maybe just not right now.
-Stephanie Cawthon

I think that there is still a sense of surprise when a request is made for some kind of modification.
-Stephanie Cawthon

This idea that accommodations and accessibility is coming at some cost to the abled is a false pretense.
-Stephanie Cawthon

If you receive a whole bunch of feedback and you can’t do anything about it, that just makes you feel bad.
-Stephanie Cawthon

I was really trying to help us understand our assumptions about disability and accessibility.
